Will PRP injections help flatten a keloid?

Question

Will prp injections help flatten keloid and hypertrophic raised scars also will it help raise indented scars? Also will it help with bringing back the normal color and texture of those scars? Thanks

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

These need a series of treatments including lasers, injections and sometimes surgery/radiation.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

David P. Melamed, MD · Answer

Although a PRP treatment alone will not help resolve keloid, it will be useful when used in combination with lasers ablation, and steroid injections.  The keloid itself will first have to be removed. Then the appearance of the area can be improved with PRP and other treatment options.
